Questions: What is the percent of positives in relation to the percent tested, per state and its population (Politico shows tested numbers, if slow to update). Ratio.
Note, the more people are tested then the higher the infection count, but which does not necessarily mean a great increase in new cases.
The increase in reported infections that makes NY the epicenter corresponds to the 32,427 tests given, with an increase of +29,124 since last week, and showing 7,102 positives, out of a total pop. of 19,453,561.
In comparison, California has done 11,487 tests, with an increase since last week 10,319, showing 1,063 positives, while the state has a total pop. of 39,512,223. (https://www.politico.com/interactives/2020/coronavirus-testing-by-state-chart-of-new-cases/)
What is the death rate in relation to the estimated amount of infections?
What is the infection and death rate aside from outliers (confined petri-dish scenarios)? The NYT reports :
| How Virus Was Contracted | Cases |
|---|---|
| Personal contact in U.S. | 192 |
| Travel overseas | 124 |
| Cluster connected to a community in New Rochelle, N.Y. | 113 |
| Travel within the U.S. | 98 |
| Nursing facility in Kirkland, Wash. | 59 |
| Travel in Egypt | 48 |
| Diamond Princess cruise ship | 43 |
| Long-term care facility in DuPage County, Ill. | 42 |
| Travel in Italy | 39 |
| Business conference in Boston | 30 |
What is the death rate apart from those under 65 and or with serious other health issues?
What would be the cost and effects of providing most everyone with N95 masks (retooling to produce them) and requiring such to be worn outside the home if in groups, while also practicing hygiene, yet allowing most everyone to get back to work using them, while safe guarding seniors and or those with serious medical conditions?
And will the long term effects be (social and financial) of the self-quarantines and safe mode economy and the increase in welfare and government control and dependence?
YOUR. COLUMNS. ARE. OFF. Makes it look like New York has 10,000 dead.
New York needs to be quarantined.
It is like Wuhan in China. Milan in Italy. Daegu in Korea.
One locality dwarfs all others in cases.
Masks and gloves. I like your idea. Make masks and gloves available to everyone and lets get back to work. A whole lot cheaper than shutting down the economy, destroying 5 million jobs, and blitzing trillions of dollars.
Worldometer gives me a lot of hope.
These numbers are not panic-inducing not hey show how few cases and deaths there are.
There is one real problem site which is NYC.
Masks work if you are sick and in that case you shouldn’t be out. Masks are not to be worn unless you are a healthcare worker.
It could be done.
Gives me hope too.
The New York point is a good one too.
So far today, across the entire US, there have been 26 Corona-related deaths reported. 10 of those, nearly 40% of the total, come from New York.
Separate workers as much as possible. Take temperatures 3 times daily. Send anyone with cough home. Still keep the limits on large groups over 10 for now. I heard that nice Dr. who is always on FOX being interviewed by Hannity radio show and the Dr. said he was washing his hands because he learned the virus is very susceptible to soap. Unfortunately, there was no more talk about it as Hannity fired off a question for him to answer.
Your columns are WAY OFF -
you should ask mod to delete and repost it correctly.
If we had stockpiled 500 million N-95 masks (which work ) and mailed 5 them to every addresses, and let markets sell excess as cost, then it would have cheaper in the long run than operating in a safe mode and quarantine economy.
As for gloves, they actually spread disease as this to other surfaces, and the important time to wash hands is before handling food, or touching mouth, eyes nostrils.
I’m with you - the last three columns are a hodge podge of what? What’s the + represent?
As said, NY #s corresponds to the far great % of tests being done per capita, vs. CA for instance.
“As said, NY #s corresponds to the far great % of tests being done per capita, vs. CA for instance.”
Yes which is why deaths are the index.
In hard-hit areas, testing restricted to health care workers, hospital patients

Will make these types of calculations difficult, yes?
Yes, see The science of soap – here’s how it kills the coronavirus
I copied it, and do not know how to correct the column lines. If you want to try to get the coding correct by copying the selection from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ then I will send it to you.
